A:

King Herod the Great was hated by the majority of Jews, not only because he was imposed on Judea by conquest, but was also a despised Idumean.

He sought to ingratiate himself with the Jews by worshipping their God while in Jerusalem, but ingratiated himself with the Romans by worshipping the pagan gods while in Caesaria. He rebuilt the Jerusalem temple, which did please many of the Jews.

In later years, the Jews sought to claim Herod as one of their own, because he had built the important coastal city of Caesaria. Although the majority of the Caesarian population was pagan, the Jews hoped that if the Roman emperor agreed to their claim on the city, based on Herod being acknowledged as a Jew, the city could be taken over as a Jewish city.

Answer:

Herod refurbished the Holy Temple at the advice of the Jewish sages (Talmud, Bava Batra 4a), but he also killed many Jewish people (ibid 3b).

One reason was that Herod the Great was not a Jew. His father was an Idumaean (an Edomite), and his mother was an Arab. Also, Herod's excessive brutality was condemned by the religious leaders. Add to this, that Herod was a supporter, and had the backing, of the Romans.

How did the Nazis associate Jewish people with communism and capitalism?

The Nazi's didn't really associate them with communism and capitilism. It was my understanding that the Germans didn't like the Jewish people because when the world including Germany suffered from the great depression, the Jewish people were able to stay well- off because they owned their own little stores. So the Germans were angry with them and thought that they were the reason every thing was bad with their economy. On the night of broken glass the Germans went to Jewish shops and destroyed them.


Did Hitler have Jewish blood?

No. It is an unsupported claim. Hitler's father, Alois, was registered as an illegitimate child with no father. Alois' mother (Hitler's great- grandmother) worked in the home of a wealthy Jew at the time she got knocked up, which is where the rumor started. There is no scientific or genealogical proof that Hitler was of Jewish descent.

Are you Jewish if only 1 set of great grandparents were Jewish?

According to Jewish law, you are only Jewish if you have a Jewish-born mother, or if you convert.So if your great great grandmother was Jewish, and she had a daughter (who was your great grandmother), and she had a daughter (who was your grandmother) and she had a daughter (who was your mother) then you would be Jewish. But your great great grandfather has nothing to do with it.Even under Reform Jewish law, which recognizes you as Jewish if your father is Jewish, they would not recognize "patrilineal descent" past one generation (in other words, you're not Jewish if your father's father was Jewish).
